How to Stay Focused on Income Generating Activities

How do you stay focused on income generating activities or marketing tasks that you have to do throughout the day?

I got this question about a week ago. And since I’m building this business full time, I always have tons of distractions, that I have to get rid of.

So what is it that you have to do in order to stay on top of your game, and complete all of your marketing activities during the day?

When it comes to staying real focused on certain activities, I always recommend to write down a list of things that you need to achieve during the day. The list will usually be of about 10 or more things. We’re all trying to achieve everything, right? I sure am!

To make it way easier you gotta prioritize! This is one of the biggest keys to getting the important things done before you get caught up in everything else. Find 2 or 3 core activities that are gonna bring you results either quick or in the long term. It can be a blog post, it can be shooting a quick video, it can be making that phone call. It can even be something else depending on the project that you’re working on. The rest of the tasks can be put off and you can complete them later.

One of the things that has really helped me out to achieve a lot during the day is doing the most difficult (or time consuming) tasks in the morning. Just to give you an example – for me it’s writing a blog post, and sending out an email to my list. After these 2 tasks are done, I can focus on other things. And it actually feels good when you get this done!

If you still have trouble staying focused, I would recommend a few things. First of all, make sure you are working in a place where you don’t have TV and other distractions – your place has to be a separate room where you can really focus. Also, your work desk has to be clean – have your laptop and maybe a notebook on it, so that nothing keeps your attention. If your phone is not involved in a certain task, turn off the sound or put in on airplane more and put it screen down (that’s a big time saver). And of course, put a timer on every important task that you’re trying to complete.

In the video below I share all the strategies that I’m using to staying focused on income generating activities, and how you can do it too. The best thing – it doesn’t matter if you’re full time or part time, you can get a LOT of things done every day if you work about 3-5 productive hours.

You make it look so easy. I was thinking about doing a blerb about facebook live, mentions, and periscope coming from a preachers sons perspective. ( I never made it in the ministry) I went in the USAF but anyway they are a live stage.

Jelena this is such an important post. I remember years ago when beginning a business on my kitchen table I had to be focused and get rid of all distractions or I would never have got things done. Like you, I like to get my blog post done first and email my list as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Getting your most critical activities out of the way early makes the day go by so much better just like you mentioned. If you are a home business owner identifying your core activities is so critical if you want to be successful. Setting a timer is great tip too! Thanks for sharing Jelena!!

Staying focused is essential to one’s own growth and for your business growth. Keeping your desk clean allows a great flow of energy around you and helps you keep a clear mind too! That reminds me I am gonna have to send that email I drafted it and then got distracted 🙂
